Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a first imaging unit, a second imaging unit with a focal length different from a focal length of the first imaging unit, and a reading unit configured to read information from an optical code image included in a captured image, and a control unit configured to perform control so as to, in a case where information based on the optical code image has been read by the reading unit from an image captured by the first imaging unit, execute processing corresponding to the read information, and in a case where information based on the optical code image has not been read by the reading unit from an image captured by the first imaging unit, to cause the reading unit to read information based on the optical code image, from an image captured by the second imaging unit, and execute processing corresponding to the read information.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Disclosure[0001]The present disclosure relates to an electronic apparatus that can recognize optical code information, such as a two-dimensional code, by a plurality of imaging units, and a control method of an electronic apparatus.Description of the Related Art[0002]There has been known a technique used for advertisements, instruction manuals, and production management in factories. In this technique, a user can access a web page or detailed information by reading a printed or displayed two-dimensional code (i.e., optical code information). In recent years, an electronic payment that uses a two-dimensional code has become widely known as one of payment methods that use smartphones. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-134133 discusses a technique of changing an optical zoom magnification by driving a lens in accordance with a size of a barcode (one-dimensional code) included in an image that is captured by a reading device of an electronic apparatus,...
